“A study from the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) shows 89% of mass shootings between 1998 and June 2019 occurred in gun-free zones.
CPRC reports 21st mass shooters are not typically religious, “80 percent are at least 21 years of age,” and the majority of them–56 percent–views handguns as the weapon of choice for an attack.
Rifles alone have only been used in 13 percent of 21st century mass shootings. Shotguns alone have only been used in four percent.
Weigh popular Democrat gun control campaigns in light of these finding and it quickly becomes evident that gun control is not the solution to mass shootings.
For instance, one popular control is to raise the age for rifle purchases to 21 years of age. What good does this do when 80 percent of mass shooters are 21-year-old or older?
Another gun control push is to ban “assault rifles.” But this is an impotent approach when you consider the fact that rifles alone are used in only 13 percent of attacks, while handguns are the overarching weapon of choice.”
